Craw furd, F.R.S., Vice-President, in the chair, an im portant paper was read "On the Varieties of Mar. in the Malay Archipelago," by Mr. A. It. Wa11,7c.2._ The term " Oceania" has been applied to the region of islands extending over two-thirds of the Pacific Ocean, the inhabitants of which, though notoriously differing widely among themselves, have been con sidered by all ethnologists to form one of the most strongly marked varieties of the human race. The, paper was an account, from p?rsenal observation, of . the inhabitants of the chief islands of the AILIby Archipelago, and an attcmpt, by a comprion of these with the inhabitants of the surroundi7lg coun tries, to arrive at definite c.nc.u.iGns Its to their PRICE 4d.

The great islands of SUlVitrti, end Boraeo aye eltueted Ott the Asiatic batik, and,. from the fact that a number of the largest nnimele which could not have crossed the see, suet' as the rhinoceros of Java and Sumatra. the elephant of Sumatra, and the tapir of Sumatra and Bounce, being all found in some part or other of the Asiatic continent, it is highly probable that ail these great islands have formed a part of Asia frog which they have been separated by the same cenvilsions which have raised the volcanic chains of Sumatra and Java. In the like manner, New Guinea and some adjacent islands have been once connected with Australia. The belt of deep ocean, however, be tween those banks indicate the separation as of very long existence, and there is evidence in the geological structure of Java and Borneo that some parts of these islands are of recent formation, so that the gulf between the Asiatic and Australian regions was formerly greater than- at present—a conch:talon' 'etrikinglyeeonfirmed by the almost total diversity of the animals of the two halves of the Archipelago. In the western islands all the chief forms of the Asiatic continent are found, while in the eastern half they are chiefly those characteristic of Australia, so that a line drawn across the Archipelago west of Celebes marks the division bttween two vast zoolo gical areas. Turing from the consideration of the lower animals to man, two very strongly contrasted races are found in the region—the Malays, inhabit ing almost exclusively the western half of the Archipelago, and the Papuans, whose headquarters are new Guinea and the adjacent islands, and these range over the eastern area, the people over all the islands as far as the Fiji being identical in their chief features with the Papuans, and the varieties being all forms of one great Polynesian race. But here arises the question—are these races derived from America or Asia, or have they originated in sours of the islands, and thence spread over the whole area they inhabit? The author considered there was evidence to show, which he gave in de tail, that they had been derived from none of these sources, but from a great Pacific continent which had, geologically speaking, been recentlysulnergee!, and of which the numerous Pacific isieude were the residuary relics. The discussion which followed was unusually interesting. Dr. Falconer strongly supported the views of the author as to the derivation of the inhabitants of this region both upon zoological and geological grounds. The elephant ranged on the continent as far north as 30 deg., and these and other great beasts he believed had passed over during the human epoch on dry land. Certain species of oxen and deer, too, were met with alike in these islands and on the continent of India, but nowhere else on the globe ; and while we had a parallel case in Europe, where, before the glacial epoch, there were doer like those of this archipelago, and rhinoceroses and other great mammalia living in this country and over Europe which had spread in from the south, while after the glacial era had passed away there was another fauna of great mamrualia which had come in from the north, and arctic in character, we had less reason for objecting to such geological changes in the Pacific as were brought forward by Mr. Wallace to account for the distribution of the mammaliaa, and the two races of man which inhabited those re gions. The close proximity of Sicily to Italy seemed naturally to suggest a dismemberment from that peninsula, but the fossil fauna of the late tertiaries there affords convincing proof of its recent connec tion with Africa, and no doubt within the human epoch the great mammals of Africa had walked on dry land across the present Mediterranean. If such views as we admit in European geology be applied to the Malayan Archipelago, there are good grounds for supporting Mr. Wallace's theories. Sir 11,, ( 1 0 - rick Murchison, Profc.ssor Busk, Sir W. Armstrong, C -pt. Spoke, Mr. Christie, Mr. Bohn, Mr. Craw ford, and others, spoke upon various topics in con nection with the paper. The Crawley Court-Martial and its Results, (Fro►n the Medical Times and Gazette.) The proceedings of the Crawley court-martial have been summed up by some remarks from ILL H. the Commander in-Chief. The accused colonel is almost the only person who has escaped scatheless, and he returns to the command of his regiment with a few words of advice from the Horse Guards. Not so, however, the witnesses, Major Swindley, Adjutant Fitzsimon, and Surgeon Turnbull have, in reality, under gone their trial, and received a sentence of dismissal from their regiment. In future cases witnesses will do well to remember the facts supplied by the few court-martials of late years. Into Surgeon Turnbull's conduct a court of in quiry is held. The president of that court is, we under stand, Major-General Eyre, and the members are medical officers of rank. We have neither ratified nor entirely sup ported the course pursued by the Surgeon of the 6th Dra goons, but we have stated what might and ought to be urged in vindication of his conduct and that of our profes sion. One point, however, cannot be strongly dwelt upon. This court of inquiry is held upon the medical records of the regiment, and has ostensibly arisen from the dis crepancies (real or supposed) in the case of a Sergeant assjor Wakefield. Now, putting aside every question of the proper or improper conduct of the Medical officers, this matter' was totally and entirely irrelevant to what. was the subject of the late cour t-martial. This w as ui tioubt the we can have n not about Sergeant - Major Wa k e field, but about the a rrest, aopinion. n illness,else.and death The iro f r os s r g e i e m G e arl Guards, Sergeant-Major epparently,h L a i v l l e e y s e , i a z n e d d upon this distinct and irrelevant subject for saddling One o f the medical officers, who was witn e s s for the prosecuti on, with a large amount o f discredit and opprobrium. O n th e proceedings con clusions arrived at will be just and fair ; b u t we only desire to call attentio n to th e fact, that a medical offi cer ' s con d uc t is called in question upon a case whi c h h a d not hi ng what ever to do with the subject fo r w hi ch he was a witness. And here let us advert t o anot h er subject. All cannot be right in the Army Medical D epartment, or we should nu t read of the resignation o f ass i stant-surgeons of many years ' o right toe o enter te finding r o d r ing venture of this n court No ry standing, and two such appeared only the other day. It is contrary to common sense to believe that such resignations would take place—it is contrary to all the ordin try experi ence of life to find men voluntarily disconnecting them selves from a certain means of livelihood for the more pre cariZ.Ms chances of success in civil life—if some grave defects eZ.id not exist in the department which they quit. The fact is, that the army not only offers no chances of speedy success to good medical men, but it holds out so little probability of promotion within a reasonable time, that really good students refrain from entering it. The discontent is widely spread. In some cases the grounds on. which it is urged arc substantial enough, such as the above, and the degrading duties of branding soldiers, &c. ; in others the reasons are more indefinite, but the discontent undeniably exists. There are rumours in abundance about changes in the department, bat they rest on no other foundation than the necessity which is supposed to exist for supplying the ranks of the army with medical material. So long as Go vernment can got medical candidates, so long will there be no changes. That is our opinion, and we commend the lesson which flows out of it to the attention of medic aspirants for fumy honours. rormen tliftt Since the above was in type we have been in: d _ Surgeon lurnbullins been entirely exoneraotieatinx T.n: ccurt of enquiry from the charge of i‘note6r __ragonfilos. medical cases in the hospital registers of b ea en 1) fatly investi- We learn that this matter had alreadynd' that his bringing gated by Colonel Crawley, in Indiaywas an adroit means it before the Aldershot Court Maratia es against himself, by of diverting attention from the e i h n g r tbe eyes of the Court. damaging Surgeon Turnbull attempt to get up a • of the Notwithstanding the f a ilure about the books, it is said charge against Mr. Turn u laced on half-pay by the that he is about to be p of the animus which lie is Commander-in -Chief on account ' sitting his evulence, This nary is alleged to have shown is a warniUt medical officers for the future not to give apy to evidence that ig not palatable to tne Ease Guarc.b, „,, viSPAP7 .. .4”) .r .,144,.,, t, Fp - • ~ j...‹,r;k, ( 7, • fi,,,,.N r 1 S the ship's side 12ia beyond the plate's inner surface. No.'s shot struck the plate in a central and undamaged part, went clear through and buried itself with the broken fragments in the side of the ship, the outer surface of the shot being 3in below the plate's outer surface. No. 3, the last shot, also struck the plate in a central and undamaged part, and about 2ft aside of the last shot. It cut its way in with 9!in dia meter, aboue one third of the plate's thickness, and then carried everything before it on to the lower deck of the tar get ship, The shot in passing through the broken pieces of the plate increased the diameter or the hole it made en en tering the plate from 91in to 3ft at the other end. It passed entirely through one side of the ship and struck against the opposite side. The shot entering the plate by a hole 9.'-,in in diameter passed into the ship bya hole 3ft in diameter, tear ing five planks away from the inside, and covering both aides of the deck for some distance round with broken pieces of wood and iron. One piece of the plate, measuring 17in by 14in, was picked up on the ship's deck, 15ft from the side of the ship where it had entered with the shot, The shot itself was found on the opposite side of the ship's deck, and was but very little changed in form. With the above facts demonstrating the destructive powers of steel spherical shot, it is necessary to state that the America target frigate, on which the plates were bolted yesterday, is a razeed ship, and has a line-of-battle ship's scantling, and that a careful examination of her condition has satisfied the authorities that a sounder wooden ship could not well be found. The condition of the timbers and planking where the steel shots passed through fully confirms these conclu sions. The following appointments have been made at the Ad miralty :—Capt. J. G. Bickford, to the Meander; Capt. F. L. Barnard, to the Narcissus ; Staff-Commander J. E. Davis to the Fisgard, additional for temporary service in the Hydrographer's department; Francis B.

The Whitworth and Armstrong Committee, appointed at Woolwich by the War Department to decide on the com petitive merits of the two rival gunmakers, notwithstand ing their efforts to bring the trial to an issue, have received a notification from the Whitworth Company stating that their arrangements are still incomplete, and that no definite time can be fixed at present for the trial to take place. This has occasioned considerable inconvenience and annoy ance to the committee, as well as unneceseary expense to the Government. The whole of the Armstrong guns have been in readiness for some time past, and are as fellows : Three 12 pound muzzle-loaders, rifled on the shunt prin ciple; three 12-pound breech-loaders, and six 70-pound breech loaders. The Whitworth guns proposed to be fur • nished for the trial are six 12-pounders as above and three 70-pounders. The whole of the Government arrangements have been made for some time past, and various meetings of the committee have taken place with a view of urging the Whitworth Company to fulfil their engagement without delay. INDIA AND CHINA, By the arrival of the Calcutta mail we have re ceived files of papers from Calcutta to the 23d Dec., Shanghai to the December, and Hong Kong to the 15th December. We take the following from the Calcutta Eng lishman of . 221 December : We are in receipt of Moulmein papers to the 10th inst. The rumour that the Shan States, tributary to the King of Burmah had broken out in open revolt, is not altogether without foundation. It appears that the cause of quarrel lay in the fact that one of the chiefs of the rebellion States, named Moung-Naw-Pah, had been summoned to the court at Mandalay, and, as it is reported, incarcerated without any provocation, by order of the King. Having, however, effected his escape from prison, he no sooner set foot on his own territory than he ordered all the Burmese officials and their subordinates, to the number of 300, to be killed. The rest of the chief of the Shan States having at the same time assembled a force of above 8,000 armed mes, threw off their allegiance to the Burmese Crown, and placed themselves in an attitude of defiance. A movement such as this is far from surprising, the Burmese Government being thoroughly detested for its rapacity and cruelty to ail who come within its influence. In consequence of this formidable outbreak, the King of Burmah has ordered a conscription to be enforced to fill the ranks of the army destined to act against the Shan States, but there ap pears no doubt whatever of the success of th-3 chiefs and the discomfiture of his golden-footed Majesty. The trans port Light Brigade, which is to convey the remaining por tion of her Majesty's 68th Regiment to New Zealand, ar rived at Rangoon from this port on the 26th ult., after a rather long run. This regiment leaves with the regret of all the inhabitants, and their conduct while stationed at Ran goon has evidently been such as to fully warrant the esteem in which it is held by them. Since the departure of the outgoing mail nn the 20th inst. we have receivel no additional news from England. The 'steamer with the London mail to Nov. 26 is now overdue at Galle, and we are in hourly expectation of receiving tele graphic intelligence of her arrival at that port. Our latest telegraphic dates from London are to Nov. 20.

The 43.:itiEla forces in Japan are evidently waiting for sup port, and ao not likely to withdraw from the cOmtrY until something has been done much more decisive than tia: affair at Kagosima. With regard to Major Gordon and the rebels, we have to report that :-oochow has fallen. Gordon attacked the city at 8 a.m. on Saturday, the sth inst., and entered the place on the same morning. Dissension had broken out among the rebels, and a party of them, desirous of surrendering the city; cut the Mo Wang's head off. Rumour says that 30,0'04 wanted to surrender, and that 24,000 had remained true to the cause ; and, moreover, that, of the latter number, some still hold out in the different parts of the city. The beheading of the Mo Wang has not only facilitated the cap ture of Soochow, bat must go a great way to demoralise the rebels generally. Hang-Chow will no doubt soon fall, and, failing other means, the Imperialists will be able to stary the rebels out of Nanking. B e tween surrender and death, e the Soochow army will, no doubt, cease to exist. " Hang-Chow and Nanking cannot keep up communica ' tion ; and, as the rebels have not now (as they did in 1860 where else, large army to help them from Kiang see or any when they burst through the besie g ers of Nanking) any they will soon be in a bad way.

Later, an insult in Mexico had been punished by a vigorous coup de main by Admiral Baudin. But as for equitable and discriminating repression in these countries it could only be obtained by a good under standing with the governments. M. Thiers then explained the present situation in Mexico, observing that the country was divided into two great parties —the Conservatives, called by their adversaries clericals and reactioniste ; and the Liberals, called by their adversaries anarchists and revolutionists. In the Conservative party there were many great families of the old regime who wished to make Mexico a second Brazils, The Brazils instead of going for a republic had stopped at constitutional monarchy—a word not in favour, but he could not help speaking his own language. Under the constitutional monarchy—(some murmurs) — Brazil had found order, liberty, and growing prosperity. But to procure similar beatitudes for Mexico was a work of difficulty. In the first place, they had had to look out for: a prince. Had analogies been followed, Spain would have been asked to furnish one; but recollections of the war of independence had left Mexico a great repugnance to the Spaniards. Then a somewhat arbitrary, not to say fantastic choice of a candidate had been made. They had fixed upon a prince who had certainly no partisans in the country. The Conservative party had for its allies a Otholitelergy, which was wanting in the virtues and intelligence of the clergy in Europe. That clergy had been very wealthy, and was mixed up in all the political troubles of the country, Its property had been confiscated, and now its great object was to get it back. M. Theirs then came to the struggle between Miramon and Juarez. The first was a couragectie but not very wise young man. The second was an Indian by birth, a lawyer by profession, and, though now the enemy of France, it was only just to say that his countrymen did not look upon him as a dishonest man. He had shown remarkable strength of character. Miramon was installed in Mexico, and at the head of the public force, while Juarez was at Vera Cruz without a piastre ; and yet by patience and per severance he succeeded in the course of a few months in making his entry into Mexico, and Miramon took to flight. Juarez founded a moderate Government and showed great firmness in checking his Congress, in which the most radical opinions prevailed. When the treaty with M. de Saligny, the French minister, was broken, the right and prudent thing to have done would have been to take pos session of Tampico and Vera Cruz, and receive the cus toms duties at theseloorts until the debt had been liquidated, That was the English system in such cases. Not a very brilliant one, indeed ; not one by which much glory could be acquired, but safe and effectual. After referring to the deceptive reports spread by the clerical party in Europe that the Mexican people were so tired of Juarez's govern-, ment that they would rise as one man on the first appear ance of an invading flag, and ac:daim the European prince proposed to them, M. Thiers reviewed the original negotia tions with London and Madrid, showing that England steadily declined to interfere in any way whatever with the internal government of the counry— and that Spain, while prompting France to establish a monarchy, wanted to set up a Spanish prince, which France would not consent to. The zeal of Spain in the affair being thus cooled, she con sented—but not, as he (M. Thiers) thought, without an arribv pensde—to the English convention of Oct. 31, 1861. That convention was in reality bit a negation, for England only intended to take possession of Vera Cruz and Tampico. Spain wanted to found a monarchy for the benefit of a Spanish prince ; France had in Aer mind a monarchy with an Austrian sovereign. Under such circumstances the treaty, though in form obligatory, could only in point of fact be negative. The Spaniards were the first to set out on the expedition. They sailed hem Havannah, and arrived at Vera Cruz on Dec.l. General Prim, their commander, and who had been accepted by France as generalissimo of the expedition, was a brilliant soldier, but full of Castilian pride. He closely obserVed the tilde of the country, and soon found that Europa had been altogether detSeiVed when it fancied that the:monarchical party would rise as soon as the European troops landed. .bout three weeks later the French force, under the comniand'of en aide man, Admiral Jurien dela Graviere; landed also, He agreed with Gen. Frith that it Was priideitt 10 *ail far the ptOrteleed demon strations. But they waited and waited in vain ; no tadnar chial movements took place. The Imes, could not, however, remain much longer at Vera Cruz,disease making great havoc among there, The Spaniards had 2,000 sick. How many French Were sick had never been statedi brit the ntimber wars kfioWir to be large. 'A° English fords ado only 700 strong, and of that number 153 were in hospital. The three commanders, French ; Spanish, and English, agreed that it was impossible to ierriain any- longer in Vera Cruz. They marched a few leagues into the inteiler df the dortntry, where the troops found themselves a little better; arid then, as it was felt necessary to do something, they issued a pro claMatidn to the Meiidans, telling them that they had net come to conquer or revolutionise their country, but merely to claim pecuniary indemnitite due to French, Spanish, and English isnhjeCts4 The form of an illiimattim Was given to this proclamation, and s therefore exact sums were stated. England claimed 85 millions of francs, Spain 40 millions, France 60 millions; and 20 millions were denianded on behalf of some other natitins, The totali amontiting to 200 millions, seemed rather high in regard to the id iatiilitiets df the Mexican budget, but when, in addition, the Jecker bongs, amounting to 75 millions, were brought forward, the Mexi can Government was startled and hesitated to pay. He would only say of the Jecker bonds that they had a very bad reputation. However, it was agreed that the question should be referred to the three European Governments. but meanwhile three officers were despatched to the city of Mexico with an ultimatum which could not have been very peremptory or precise, because no amortnt Was fixed. These officers were most politely received, and told that if the European troops had come for justice they should most assuredly have it, and that General Dolled°, a moat dis tinguished man, would go and treat with the plenipoten , finding that the number of sick at r e np increasedi o t e n t i ar iQueryes day, that they could have t n i o ar a ie n s s . w Vra Cp e eT r h fr e om Europe for two months, and that the gene rals were at the head of six or seven thousand men without means of transport, negotiated with General Doblado, and agreed that their troops should occupy the healthy heights of Orizaba, on condition that they should retire from them if the negotiations came to nothing.

Well, the war had gone on. After a year to repair General Lorencz's check before Puebla, the gallant Marshal Forey had been sent out with large reinforcements, and, as was to have been expected, he had taken the city of Mexico. He would, after these indispensable prelimin aries, corae to the immediate and practical question. They were in Mexico, and what ought they to do now ? ' Why, he would say, treat with Juarez, as they ought to have done long ago. General Bazaine, who was , reputed to be an able negotiator as well as a good i general, had already quarrelled with the Archbishop of Mexico, who represented the old regime, and had admitted that the liberal party was in the right as to the national property. That fact showed that the liberal party could not be such very great barbarians. It was no doubt disagree able to treat with Juarez after having protested sq long that they would not do so; but that was the only rational thing to do, as it had been quite ascertained that he was at tho head of the strongest party in the country. If they did not do so the prospect was a permanent army of 40,000 men in Mexico, and a drain upon the budget of 13, 14, or 15 mil lions per month. As to the notion of setting up the Latin against the Anglo-Saxon race, he did not think it worth the consideration of serious men. The Archduke was going out, they were told. He would arrive in April, just in time to receive congratulations before the wet season set in. He would admit that he would be well received; be never knew of a new prince who was not. But the rains would prevent any military operations between May and September or October. During all that while the new monarch must be protected, for they cod' it be so ran- nq generous as to take him away ;rem his family and country, and leave him to himself in a state of fearful embarrass ment. They must recollect that he would arrive there without a piastre. Mexico was greatly indebted, and did not pay her debts. England and Spain held the custom• houses as a security for 200 millions, and nothing could be got from that source till they ware paid. The Archduke would want, therefore, 300 or 400 millions to start with. Where were they to come from ? A loan had been talked of. A loan was no doubt ea.)? if France guaranteed it; but if such a thing were proposed, he would venture to say that the habitually small minority in opposition would be singu larly augmented. Without the guarantee of France a loan was out of the question. M. Thidrs then made the follow ing declaration in answer to an audacious statement of the /lioniteur ; —" It was said yesterday—geography being treated rather cavalierly—that we occupied already seven eighths of the country. I tell you that we do not occupy a twentieth part of it; and that out of a population of eight millions, two at most are subjected to our rule." A consideration most important to be borne in• mind was, that although both the North and the South of the United States might for the present affect no displeasure at what was doing in Mexico, the only reason was that neither party wished to offend France, whose interference one way or the other at the present moment (an interference which he was glad had nut been attempted) might so materially affect their interests. But it was tolerably certain that once the civil war over, the United States would forget all her present politeness, and if she did not actually declare war, would let loose hosts of disbanded soldiers, who would desire no better employment than to overrun Mexico. The Chaix d'Est Adge replied to him on behalf of the Government, and was answered by M. Berryer. The debate was adjourned. Naval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY. VALETTA, Jan. 22.—The Trafalgar, 72, Capt. T. Mason, has been detained here till the arrival of the Meeonee, 60, Capt. G. Wodehouse, expected in a few days from Athens. The Trafalgar will then proceed to England to be paid off. The Cossack, 20, Capt. W. R. Rolland, received orders yes terday to hold herself in readiness to sail for Tripoli and Benghazi. She is to convey Mr. Saunders, electrician to Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Co., to these places, for the pur pose of examining into the state of the Malta and Alexan dria telegraph cable, which has stopped working since the 13th inst. Mr. Saunders is expected from Marseilles to night, A steamer especially fitted for such employment has been ordered from England to the Mediterranean to re pair the cable. The weather, which has been very boister ous for some time past, is rather calmer, but is not quite settled yet. From Alexandria accounts have been received that an English steamer, named the Atlas, employed in im porting horses and cattle for the Viceroy from France, had gone ashore at Rossetta, but had been got off and safely towed into Alexandria by her Majesty's ship Psycho, to whose commander, Lieut. P. Sterne, great credit is due for his exertions in the matter, This is not the ship of the same name belonging to Messrs. Burns and M'lver, of Liverpool. The Phcebe, 35, Capf. T. D. A. Fortoscue, having completed the repair of her engines in her Majesty's dockyard at this island, will leave some time next week for the coast of Syria to relieve the Liffey, 35, Capt. George Parker. The Eng lish screw steamer Semaphore, Capt. R. Green, arrived yes terday, from London 14 days, and Gibraltar six, with tele graph cable on board for Brindisi, and passengers Mr. G. Henley and 15 labourers. The iron-clad screw steamship Royal Oak, 35, Capt. F. N. A. Campbell, having embarked supernumeraries for the Channel Squadron and Royal Marines for the flagship Edgar, now in the Tagus, is under orders to leave Plymouth Sound for Lisbon, Gibraltar, and Malta. It will be recol lected that when docked in Keyham steamyard very serious effects had been produced by the galvanic action of her copper sheathing on the adjoining iron plates. Immediately afterwards it was determined to protect an intermediate space all round by the application of Hall's vitreous sheath ing; but it was subsequently resolved to use the vitreous sheathing on one side and a band of zinc on the other. The upper sheet of Muntz's metal, 14in deep, was therefore stripped from the port side and a listing 7in wide and 31in deep was cut into the ship. All the ends of the metal bolts were then cut off. A plank 2in thick was introduced into the bed of the cutting to prevent the ends of the bolts from coming into direct contact with the band of zinc, which was 1 in thick. It being fastened on the plank the space made by the cutting became flush with the metal below and the iron plates above. It is expected that this band will prove a sufficient non. conductor to prevent the sheathing metal from producing any galvanic action on the iron plates. On the starboard side about 3,500 of Hall's vitrified plates have been glued or fastened en in a depth varying from Eft under the stern to 2ft at the bow. There is a space, more or less, Of 2in between the upper edge of the copper sheathing and the lower edge of the iron plates; this space is left in order to cut off all connexion between the two metals, and was well paid with Hall's anti-fouling composition. The %hree lower tiers of vitreous plates are fastened on the wood with Composition nails ; those above are glued. The edges of the upper tier are covered by the teak-rubbing pieces. Some difficulty was eXperiene,ed in fixing the plates under the quarters and near the sternport, in consequence of the shape of the ship. The thinnest plates ►ere selected for this ptifpngo. Like the rest, they were forced on by hand pressure only. 'Were galvanic action had eaten through the face of the armour plates., the holes or pits have been filled with a mixture of Portland cement and Hall's glue. it was,. however, previously necessary to expose these pits to the lengthened heat of burning charcoal, in order to ex tract from the iron the salt left by the previous admission of sea water when she Was in active service. To protect the stem a plate of vitrified iron was prepared, 4ft 4in long, 18in deep, Inn wide, and ;'in in thickness. This plate was bronght home to the stem by vitrified screws (having en amelled hetide.) to within the 16th of an inch, it was then puddled below, and hot gltte having been poured in above, the screws were driven in, and the plate was firmly fastened, it is understood that zicc is more liabl4 to be injured by contiguity with Muntz's metal than iron, but the zinc band can be readily replaced in dock without damaging the ship. The Royal Oak will be accompanied by the gunboat Trin out°, tender to the Edgar. _ ller Majesty's iron steam store ship Industry, Master Commander Yotiel, from Rio de Janeiro, having landed her victualling stores dt Deptford yesterday, went down to Woolwich to be docked and cleaned down, as her sides are clogged with barnacles and seaweed. Some testing of armour plates too;: place at Portsmouth yesterday, which was attended with unusual interest from the comparative results obtained with different kiL is of projectiles fired from the 95evet 68-pounder cast iron gun , and the 100-pounder Elswick amooth-bore: Ihe plates were each of siin in thickness, 15ft 6in in lengthi and 3tt 3in in width. One from Messrs. John Brown and Co., of Sheffield, was for the iron frigate Agincoutt, and the other was sent in by the Millwall Ironworks for the iron frigate Northumberland. Both were tested in the first place with cast iron shot from the 68-pounder gun in the ordinary way, in order to award them their figure of merit, according to the Admiralty regulationdi fit quality of metal and mantlfeeture. Both passed through this ordeal satisfactorily, although tried severely by clusters of shot impacts and edge blows. The maximum depth of the indents was 2in, dud the minimum I 1-16 in. On Brown and Co.'s plate, in its upper right centre, four shots struck in a semicircular line, that measured but 32in through the greatest extent of the curve. Throughout this space there was only Oho small surface crack. On the left lower corner of this plate five shots struck imping ing on each oircutaference. Two of them were only half on the plate's edge. There Was nothing like penetration even here—nothing, indeed, but a longitudinal opening of the metal, about an inch in depth, and a slight stretching open of the laming on the edge. The plate exhibited wonderful tenacity and solidity, without the slightest appearance of brittleness. The Millwall plate was also struck in several places on its right edge, but without penetration being effected, although a small semicircular piece, 24in in length by 10in in width, was broken out through half the plate's thickness. The laminae were opened on the plate's edge in the vicinity of the places struck. The plates were of un dotibted excellence both in the quality of the metal and in their manufacture. It is dotibtful l indeed, if a plate supe rior in any way to Messrs. Brown's was ever tested at Ports mouth. It is necessary to dwell thus on the extraordinary qualities d thesd two plates in order to render clear the true value of the firing which followed on the official testing of the plates being concluded, and which was as follows : Messrs. tirosen'e plate etas selected for firing against with improved cast-iron spherical tertacible) shot from the Els. wick 100-pounder smooth bore gun (diameter of bore 9in and weight 120 cwt 2qrs), with a charge of 251 b of vowder. Three Allots were fired. No. 1 struck the plate on the lower edge and touched a belt. it produced an indent pf 4in at its greatest depth, with a diameter of Olin, and with on►; a surface crack round the indent. No. 2 struck just bier the lewer edge, producing an indent of 10in in diameter and d greatest depth of 3 8-10 in, with a slight surface crack in the indent. Both these shots were destroyed in the ordinary manner of cast-iron projectiles. No. 3 shot struck fairly on the plate, and part of it remained fastened in the plate's outer surface. It will be seen that the damage ice fficted by these improved cast-iron sh)t was hardly commensurate with their increased weight and the extra 91b of powder charge as compared with the 68-pounder gun. The Millwall plate had next three steel shots sent against it from the same Elswick gun, with a similar charge of 251 b. of powder, and the results obtained with these steel projectiles were certainly astonishing. Plates have been pierced before by steel shot, but never one of equal excellence with the Millwall plate of yesterday. No. 1 shot struck about 4in below tile tipper edge of the plate, a distance away from any damaged part, and, breaking right through, buried itself and the broken partsof o t g plate in SPEECH OF M. TRIERS ON MEXICO. It being known that M. Thiers was to speak on Tuesday on the Mexican question, all the tribunes were filled long before the debate began. Prince Napoleon and the Princess Clothilde were in the seats reserved for the imperial family. Among the senators present was Marshal Forey, the late com mander in chief of the expedition which M. Thiers was about to criticise. The first lawyer of France, 1 Procureur-General Dupin, sat by the side of Mar- ' shat Forey. ' M. Thiers said that he would tint discuss this or '...oat amendment, but treat of the question of Mexico generally. Having a great deal to say on this im portant subject he had been anxious to speak early in the debate, lest at a later moment the attention of the chamber should be eXhausted. He was not without hope that after hearing him they would forgive him for having thus pressed hinaselk upon their notice. As to the diterent amendments of which they had the choice, he would prefer that one which might be thought to lay the truth at the foot of the throne in the most deferential and re spectful way. If they bad only to pass judgment upon facts gone by, he would be very happy to imitate the conduct of those merchants who write off unlucky affairs to profit and loss in order that they might think no more about them. But mer chants only acted thus with regard to effairs which involved no further sacrifices. Unfortunately this ould not be said of Mexico. They had heard that the expedition cost twelve millions of francs per month, and months rolled away very rapidly. They were operating in a country 3,000 leagues off, and which required a voyage of 15 days to reach. They had in that country 40,000 soldiers and 8,000 sailors; and what was the object of that great and costly force P they were informed that in a very few days the prince destined to reign over Mexico would pass through Saris to embark for Vera Cruz. They had therefore undertaken this distant expedition for the purpose of founding a great empire in the new world. He had perhaps been brought up in narrow ideas, but he must confess that such an enterprise in the present etate of the world, without any useful pun pose, that he could see, utterly confounded his rea son. After a passing observation engaging the chamber to imitate the example of England, which patiently suffers every subject whatever to be dis cussed, he said he proposed to inquire by - what series of ideas France had been led from the first act of protection of its citizens established in Mexico to that most coneiderable enterprise of founding a monarchy in that country. What connexion was there between the two things? Was there any reasonable hope of success; and if perchance they did succeed, what good would they get by it ? M. Thiers - then described the great difference' between North and South America in respect of relations with Europe. In theNorth,Europe found an immense trade, and, in general, perfect security, though of late, owing to the civil war and democratic rough ness, there might have been some slight ground for complaint. But in South America, with the excep tion of the Brazils, there was nothing but anarchy. When the southern populations of America separated from the European countries which bad colonised them and held them in subjection, they, like the North, proclaimed republican government. But the inhabitants of South America were turbulent and idle, and their republics did not succeed. These states were always in difficulties, ever borrowing and never paying. In consequence of continual agitation, the towns, the villages, and highways were insecure. Robbery was frequent and murder not uncommon. The police was good for nothing, and justice weak. The custom with these states when they broke treatie s h a d b een h i therto to follow the English syst em , v i z., to punish them severely when they could be got at by sea, but otherwise to wink a good deal at their delinquen cies. It might perhaps be said that such a mode of dealing with them was not very haughty, but na tional honour itself must brook a check in the face of physical impossibilities. As illustrations of his meaning M. Thiers cited the case of some Riff out rages w hich Prussia thought it not expedient to avenge by an expedition ; of Bonpland (the compa niOn and friend of Humboldt), who was made pri • Isoner in Paraguay by the dictator Francia ; and also an affair at La Plata, where French citizens had been tortured by that abominable little tyrant Roses. Well, French ships had gone to Buenos Ayzs and Monte Video and deniunded severe 'I BEAUTIFUL FOR EVER. MADAME RACHEL ON "FEMALE GRACE AND BEAUTY." Just published, ABOOK OF B E A U T Y.
